We had the opportunity to attend Mercy Children’s Clinic Birthday Party, thanks to our close friends Rich and Leigh. Both Angie and I had a great time. The food and music was good, the friends are great, and the cause is one close to our hearts. Mercy is a non-profit pediatric office, offering medical care to all children, but especially to those un-insured or under-insured, and those on TennCare. They focus on treating the entire person; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We have met the staff through a couple volunteer opportunities, and they are all great.

The event was fantasitic. It consisted of dinner (the pork was awesome), live music, and a silent auction. Somehow I managed to avoid dancing, but we did walk away with a couple rounds of golf (never a bad deal) and breakfast with Tree63. The funds are targeted to help Mercy expand beyond their office in Franklin, into surrounding areas within TN, and eventually beyond. If you are looking for something local to get involved in either through volunteering or through financial support, Mercy is top notch and on our short list.
